An observation on the diving behavior of Cyrtodactylus consobrinus (Squamata: Gekkonidae) from Borneo
Cyrtodactylus consobrinus (Peters, 1871) is a forest-inhabiting gekkonid endemic to Southeast Asia. It has been known to occur in Peninsular Malaysia, extending to Sumatra, Pulau Sinkep and Borneo (Das 2010, Uetz et al. 2024), while a recent study restricted the species to western Borneo (Davi...

| Summary: | Cyrtodactylus consobrinus (Peters, 1871) is a
forest-inhabiting gekkonid endemic to Southeast
Asia. It has been known to occur in Peninsular
Malaysia, extending to Sumatra, Pulau Sinkep
and Borneo (Das 2010, Uetz et al. 2024), while
a recent study restricted the species to western
Borneo (Davis et al. 2023a, b), where it inhabits
lowland forests and often observed foraging on
tree trunks (Das 2010). This species was
described under the name Gymnodactylus
consobrinus by the German naturalist Wilhelm
Karl Hartwich Peters (1815–1883), based on a
single specimen collected from Sarawak,
currently a Malaysian state on the island of Borneo (Peters 1871). Subsequently, it was listed
under the genus Cyrtodactylus by Grandison
(1972). Little is known about several aspects of
the natural history of C. consobrinus, including
its behavior. In this paper, we present an
additional account on the anti-predator behavioral
response of C. consobrinus. |
